Hospitals Begin to Admit Medical Negligence

Senior Managing Partner Jonathan Schochor explains why some hospitals are taking responsibility for medical negligence by voluntarily admitting mistakes. While it’s rare, it seems that some hospitals, surgeons and physicians are trying to change the culture by developing protocols to reduce the chance for a mistake to reoccur. One of the functions that Schochor, Federico and Staton hopes to achieve is to reduce the occurrence of medical malpractice or negligence.
